More than 3000 summer jobs
are now available throughout Eur-ope
for the summer of 1963.
The American Student Informa-tion
service is the only official
authorized organization placing
American college students in sum-mer
jobs in Europe on a large
scale.
It is celebrating its sixth an-niversary
by offering travel
grants and cash scholarships
from $10 to $175 to the first
1000 students applying for sum-mer
jobs in Europe.
Positions available include work
in factories, in resort-hotels, on
farms, on construction, in offices,
in hospitals, in child care and in
camps.
These jobs are located through-out
Europe and wages range from
$175 a month for the highest pay-ing
positions in Germany to only
room and board in Spain. Offered
in conjunction with package ar-rangements,
the cost of the sum-mer
will range from $150 to $799.
Among other things, each ap-plicant
is provided with an al-bum
of language records of the
country in which he will be
working, a student pass allowing
the bearer discounts throughout
Europe, complete health and ac-cidental
insurance coverage and
a choice of tours ranging from
six to 24 days.
Although ASIS offers complete
arrangements with a round-trip
scheduled jet flight, students are
free to make their own travel ar-rangements.
Those interested in the plan may
obtain a complete 20-page pros-pectus
and a European job appli-cation
by writing to ASIS, 22 Ave.

Luxembourg, enclosing 20 cents
for an airmail reply.
Two recent additions to the
chapel program are a Thanksgiv-ing
service by faculty women and
a series of talks dealing with the
conference affirmation of faith by
various college and seminary in-structors.
Presented tomorrow, the Thanks-giving
chapel will center around a
picture drawn by Barbara Carl-son.
There will be no speaker,
but time will be provided for medi-tation,
silent prayer and scripture
reading.

Benjamin Patterson Browne, president of Northern Baptist Theo-logical
seminary, will discuss "The Renaissance of Christian Poetry"
at a 10 a.m. convocation on Thursday, Nov. 29.
"New Realms the Writer Must Conquer for Christ" will be pre-sented
at the evening convocation at 8. An informal luncheon has also
been planned.
Currently president of the
American Baptist convention,
Dr. Browne has served in num-erous
executive capacities.
Before coming to Northern sem-inary,
he was executive director
of the division of Christian pub-lications
of the board of education
and publications of the American
Baptist convention and editor of
his denomination's education maga-zine,
the Baptist Leader.
Previously he was executive sec-retary
of the Pennsylvania Bap-tist
convention and promotion
director of the Massachusetts Bap-tist
convention.
He has also served as presi-dent
of the Associated Church
Press, a delegate to the White
House Conference on Children
and Youth and chairman of the
Commission on Bible Study for the Baptist World Alliance.
During the last fifteen years, Dr. Browne has founded and directed
a series of Christian writers' conferences, established the National
Christian Writing center at Green Lake, Wis., and initiated the Interna-tional
Christian Writers' seminar with leaders from thirty countries.
In addition to compiling and editing a trilogy of authoritative books
in Christian journalism (Christian Journalism for Today, The Writers'
Conference Comes to You and Techniques of Christian Writing), he has
authored three other books and has lectured in this field at colleges
and universities in various parts of this country.

Convention Offers Time
To Examine Membership
This weekend the student association will welcome dele-gates
to the mid-west regional convention of the American
Association of Evangelical Students, and the campus will be
afforded the opportunity of observing this organization in
operation.
Such action will undoubtedly play an important role in
the senate consideration of continued membership in AAES,
for a greater number of students on campus will be available
to interact on their individual discoveries of what the organi-zation
is, what its purposes are and what it has actually ac-complished.
Founded in 1959, this association has thus far shown con-siderable
inability to create a unified national organization of
evangelical schools which performs any practical function. Al-though
an effort is presently being made to organize a western
region, the current membership of only approximately twenty
schools is located mainly in the East and the mid-west.
In addition, the association has theoretically committed
itself to a neutralistic policy of merely supplying information
rather than encouraging corporate decision. Granted there are
certain areas in which the evangelical voice could not be raised
in unison, but certain elemental issues such as racial equality
or academic freedom demand response from any responsible
Christian student organization.
However, even this concept of the national office as an
information source has never been carried into actuality,
aside from an occasional news letter of doubtful value and
one published bibliography on Communism. And this typifies
the almost complete lack of organization among the member
schools.
AAES has existed long enough so that its shortcomings
cannot be attributed entirely to growing pains, and it is hoped
that this convention can be utilized to stimulate further exami-nation
of the nature, goals and achievements of this group.
The mere existence of an organization of evangelical students
is not sufficient grounds by itself for continued membership
if its program continues to be ineffectual.

Dear Editor:
In regard to Paul Carlson's lat-est
writings on world affairs, and
in particularly Cuba, I wish to
offer a divergent viewpoint.
It appears, from at least two of
his articles, that he assumes every-one
who carries a gun should be
judged equally. I believe this to be
the crux of the difference in opin-ion
on the subject.
Nations, as well as individuals,
carry guns for different reasons.
Both law officials and gangsters
occasionally carry guns. If a
policeman used a gun in defense
of those he is committed to pro-tect,
is it wrong? Of course not.
I'm certain we all agree up to
this point.
We need laws to live by on the
local, state, national and interna-tional
level. If we wink at evil on
any level and let the aggressor
go free, such laxity in law enforce-ment
is both wrong and foolish.
It is wrong because it always leads
to more crime.
I submit to you, that because no
nation, or nations, attempted to
stop Hitler early in his aggressive
career, our world was led to in-calculable
and unecessary misery.
It was morally wrong for the na-tions
not to attempt to stop Hitler
early.
Are not all great wars started
because the aggressor believes
he can get away with something?
We who want a strong military
stand are certainly not looking
for war. We want a strong stand
so there will be no war.
At this point, I realize, there
are even those who argue that
the U.S., in this East-West strug-gle,
is just as much an aggressor
as is Russia. That argument is ob-viously
too ridiculous to answer.
Another mistaken notion occas-ionally
heard is that God is against
using force to punish anybody. Ac-cording
to this erroneous belief,
would we not have to throw out
the doctrine which teaches that
God permits men to suffer in hell
for their sins?
Harvey W. Nelson

Dear Editor:
In answer to the letter on secu-lar
music on our campus, I would
like to throw out a few thoughts
for just plain "chewing" purposes.
As we already have seen in the
previous article, a liberal arts edu-cation
at Bethel is defined in the
catalog as an attempt "to bring
a student to know himself, to un-derstand
the world and society in
which he lives, to exercise critical
judgment, to be intellectually
alert, to work effectively with
other people."
IT SEEMS to me that in all
areas in our education depart-ment
our teachers are prepared to
do this when they graduate. But
what can a Bethel music education
graduate do with an all-sacred pro-gram
in our secular schools?
Will he reach his students for
Christ, without reaching them
first with himself? Will they see
a difference in secular and sac-red
music? Will even other
Bethel students be open-minded
to choose that which is good and
not good in secular music?
This year it was the feeling of
the homecoming committee that
the Friday evening program should
be simple and light in order for it
to be enjoyable and entertaining
for those who listened and those
who performed.
DO YOU remember the home-coming
music of the past five
years? The music this year was
chosen because:
(1) This year we wanted a en-joyable,
light and happy open-ing
to our homecoming activi-ties.
(2) We did not want an enor-mous
and time-consuming pageant.
(3) The time involved was so
short because of administrative
cancellation of the first idea that
an effective serious program would
have been foolish to attempt.
THE PROGRAM was censored
by faculty and administration; and,
I must add, music faculty.
Why is it as soon as secular
music is mentioned on campus
our Christian ethics narrow? But
we think nothing of our students
reading novels and literature
with much questionable mater-ial;
or studying other religions
and their beliefs; or enjoying a
sacred text put to a secular and
jazz melody.
Here I must say that I heartily
endorse the first two broadening
ideas on campus; but of course do
not endorse jazz gospel music.
AT THIS POINT I will admit
that the view of homecoming be-ing
the wrong time for such a pro-gram
has many good and valid
reasons. But to exclude secular
music from our total education
would be a catastrophe that would
make us even more ineffective wit-nesses
for Christ.
I would be the last to say that
we do not need good discrimina-tion
to plan any type of secular
program on Bethel's campus.
However, I just want to throw
out some ideas for thought and
hope that all activities on campus
will agree with the college catalog
where it says that we must learn
"to understand the world and so-ciety
in which we live, and work
effectively with other people."

Dear Editor:
With respect to your issue of
Nov. 6, two things strike me as
being cause for concern. One of
these was the unfortunate selec-tion
of a distasteful comic strip
which seems out of place in a
Christian campus newspaper.
The other was your reply con-cerning
entertainment on a Chris-tian
campus. My understanding of
liberty in Christ is that our stan-dards
must always take into con-sideration
the conscience of our
brethren lest we offend them by
our actions.
This high ideal does not seem
equal to "tolerance" in the way
in which you have referred to it.
In respect to this type of problem,
I am wondering if you might fur-ther
explain just what an adequate
concept of Bethel is to be?

it takes advantage of the cause of

Dr. Davis would seem to believe
that we should have a loyalty
clause inserted in all our foreign
aid agreements. But this is not
necessarily the proper course.
If independence and economic
welfare are the acknowledged goals
of these countries, they should ob-viously
use the means available to
achieve these goals.
However, their definition of pro-per
aid may not coincide with that
of the United States! It may be
more valuable to encourage them
in cooperating with each other
rather than building a host of Am-erican
"satellites."

More important is the obvious
fact that most nations, acting in-dividually,
cannot adequately de-fend

As a result, colossal selfishness

Anoka Project
Shows Students
Mental Hospital
by Carrie Helget
American Friends service com-mittee,
a Quaker-sponsored pro-ject,
has set up a series of week-end
projects in which participants
from various colleges in this area
contribute a weekend of service
for the welfare of those in Anoka.
MEETING ON Friday evening,
the group first becomes acquaint-ed.
A talk giving background in-formation
on Anoka is followed
by a tour of the grounds.
Anoka State mental hospital
is organized on the cottage sys-tem,
with each cottage housing
approximately 100 patients,
grouped according to sex and
severity of illness.
Originally, Anoka was "the end-of-
the-line" for those deemed be-yond
help in other institutions for
mental illness. But today it is an
in-patient hospital serving twelve
surrounding counties of Minne-sota.
NEARLY 400 persons are em-ployed
for the care of about one
thousand patients. At first glance
this appears to be an adequate ra-tio,
but this figure of 400 includes
administration and maintenance.
Following breakfast and medi-tations
(Quaker style) on Satur-day
morning, volunteers report
to previously assigned cottages
where they mix with the pat-ients
by visiting, playing check-ers,
or offering to write letters
for those who need help.
Food is provided for a ward
party by AFSC. The group of vol-unteers
selects a cottage and gath-ers
there for several hours Satur-day
afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT, following
swimming and/or recreation, the
volunteers gather to review the
experiences of the day.
Dr. Roy Burt, chaplain since
1950 and the first chaplain to be
appointed by the state, stressed
the value of religion in helping
the patient to use the resources
of his faith while at the hospital
and following dismissal.
Dr. Burt pointed out that there
is no attempt to preach doctrine
or to change the religion of the
patient.
Church services involve the pa-tient
through participation in re-sponsive
readings, while sermons
emphasize hope and opportunity.
The principle benefit from par-ticipation
in such a weekend is
one of attitude, impression and
feeling, for a weekend at Anoka
serves to emphasize the great need
in the area of mental health for
understanding and knowledgeable
Christians.
dence he summons leave little
doubt that the party has serious
problems. He measures the de-cline
by four criteria of strength.
The first is that the party has
been plagued by ideological fac-tions.
Most of the dissension
seems to come from the problem
of how to best gain an influence
in American political and econ-omic
affairs.
Shannon's second indicator of
declining strength is the loss of
party membership which has left
it in shambles. During the peak
year of 1947 the party boasted a
membership of some 83,000. Since
then a variety of problems have
caused the faithful to diminish to
3,000-4,000.
A third crucial weakness, Shan-non
finds, is party finances. It
seems that the sacrificial Commun-ist
of whom we hear seldom exists
except in the minds of some indi-viduals
outside the party. The of-ficial
newspaper at one point had
to cease publication altogether be-cause
the funds were depleted.
Finally, the influence of the
American Communist party on
our society, according to Shan-non,
is immeasurably small.
Communist loses its appeal in
healthy socio-economic communi-ties.
Party insistence that the
American capitalistic system is
doomed to failure has cast sus-picion
chiefly on the Commun-ists
themselves.
For all Americans seeking to
understand American Communism,
David Shannon's book is worth
reading. The major American par-ties
and certainly the congression-al
bodies of our country have made
much of the internal communist
"menace." Whether the danger ac-

"A Christian liberal arts college
is a community of scholars com-mitted
to the pursuit of truth,"
believes professor Roy Butler, a
recent addition to the faculty of
Bethel's philosophy department.
"The Christian college and the
Christian scholar, I believe, gener-ally
recognize at least two explicit
goals . . . academic excellence and
total commitment to the will of
God as Lord. And these two are
conceived to be inseparable.
"AS I CONCEIVE academic free-dom,
it is the explicit pursuit of
both of these ideals. The academic
is controlled by the ultimate per-spective
and ultimate perspective
by the academic."
The implication is that in a
Christian liberal arts school the
search for truth and truth itself
are inherently one unity . . . "The
tually exists is a question demand-ing
objectivity.
The reader almost immediately
develops a confidence in both the
importance of the study and the
objectivity of this report. Since
predilection about American Com-munism
is so easily formulated and
so seldom grounded in solid facts,
Shannon's study is refreshing in
its scholarship.
One criticism concerns the
relevance of the report. Some
would contend that all this data
is beside the point of the real
Communist problem, since the
danger resides in the strength
of the underground and subver-sive
activities, not the verifiable
statistics of the official party.
Since few have dealt so directly
with the Communist party in Am-erica
and since the mass of per-tinent
details tends to escape crys-tallization,
The Decline of Ameri-can
Communism is a substantial
contribution to current social
thought.

honest search for truth denies er-ror."
However, the student on a Chris-tian
college campus is challenged
in identifying his academic stud-ies
in non-Christian metaphysical
perspectives with his growing
Christian experience.
PROFESSOR BUTLER suggests
"Academic excellence requires that
the Christian scholar examine each
perspective in terms of its own
presuppositions, its self - consis-tency,
and its adequacy to answer
the basic questions of life.
"And our commitment to Christ
and the esoteric revelation, the
scriptures, in no way denies the
necessity of critical evaluation of
non-Christians. In fact, the Chris-tian's
relation to his world as wit-ness
to the truth of the Gospel re-quires
that he be in the world in-tellectually
on 'all fours,' and that
he be selectively not of it."
Having taught in a secular uni-versity,
Professor Butler is very
aware of the advantages for Chris-tians
of studying in a Christian
college. "The Christian concept of
education, I believe, is grounded
in a thesis that one does not know
a science or an art until one is
aware of the relationship of that
art or science to the meaning of
the universe itself.
"THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPT of
education denies that there could
be art for art's sake or science for
science's sake or even the religious
as dissociated subject matter.
"The raison d'etre of the Chris-tian
college and of the Christian
scholar is a conviction that there
is a Christian perspective which
alone truly expresses the mind of
God and this total personal com-mitment."

Bethel opens its basketball
schedule at home against LaCrosse
college of LaCrosse, Wis., next
Tuesday. The Royals are hoping
to improve last year's 7-13 record.
Co-captains Lee Bajuniemi and
Dave Peterman will lead a small
but fast team into a tough 19-
game schedule. Along with guards
Bajuniemi and Peterman, forwards
Roger Olson and Denny Wahl-strom
and center Phil Bolinder
are returning.
Coach Gerald Healy is expect-ing
help from guard Bill Mc-
Carrell, center Gene Selander
and forward Bruce Erickson
from last year's B team. Mc-
Carrell, former B team floor
leader, is expected to add scor-ing
punch to this year's varsity.
Missing will be last year's lead-ing
scorer and leading rebounder,
Dan Westerlund and John Peter-son,
respectively. Westerlund av-eraged
17.9 points per game, while
Peterson had a 45.2 per cent field
goal average and pulled down 112
rebounds.
Forwards Jerry Moulton, all-region
guard from Howard Lake,
Minn., and Randy Johnson from
Medford, Wis., are two freshmen
Coach Healy plans to use to fill
the gaps.
Other freshmen who will be
working for spots on the varsity
and trying to improve the 5-9

Jim Stanley and Gene Weborg;
center Phil Wicklund; and
guards George Harvey, John Lar-

As the Badger-Gopher confer-ence
was disbanded last year, the
Royals will be playing an indepen-dent
schedule for the first time
in five years. They will, however,
continue rivalries with former
conference teams Northland and
Northwestern (Minn.).
Games agaist larger schools
with strong cage records, such as

second. Lyle Anderson of the Jes-ters,
Gene Buhler of the Peasants
and Dan Travaille of the Squires
are tied for third with 20.5 aver-ages.
Led by Dick Larson, Rekstad
and Swanson, with 20, 21 and

92-47 in last week's action.
Larry Stair tallied 17 points for
the losers.
John Holmberg, with 22 points,
led the Dukes past the Faculty,
who are looking for their first
win. Wayne Kindall paced the

Football season is over now, but it was not a season which will be
easily forgotten. Of course the outstanding seven and one record itself
contributes a great deal to the impact of the team on Bethel's commun-ity.
Everybody enjoys and remembers a winning ball club. But the win-ning
record is also indicative of a trend Bethel's general athletic pro-gram
is experiencing. This trend is toward quality, showing what Bethel
can do in athletics as well as other areas.
Bethel has always been represented well by its choirs, debate
teams and other competing organizations, and there is no reason
why such quality should not characterize its athletic teams. As
Halleen points out, "If Bethel represents Christ, there must be
quality involved."
And this year's football team has that quality. In Halleen's three
years of coaching football at Bethel, the Royals have had consecutive
season records of 2-6, 4-4 and 7-1. This improved record in itself is
evidence of the fine teams Bethel is producing.
Halleen felt that putting Christ, studies and winning games first
could be some of the reason for the team's success. Or the substance

desire to work hard. The members were willing to make the sacrifices
and put out the extra effort for their team.
Also evidence of a winning team are the statistics for the 1962
season. Compared with previous years they show marked improve-ment
in all departments. This year's 321.8 yards-per-game in total
offense completely overshadows last year's 200.5, and the 183.1-yard
average for this year in total defense, as compared to last year's
238.1, is equally impressive. Leading in tackles this season were
Jerry Kanerva with 39, Vince Bloom with 38, Dave Norman with
25 and Jim Nelson with 24.
Individual statistics for this year are also impressive. Jim Nelson,
who last year ranked 15th in the nation with a 95.5-yard game average,
finished this season with 604 net yards rushing for the six games he
played.
Don Peterson followed with 368 net yards, while averaging 9.0
yards-per-carry! He also contributed 165 yards in pass receiving and
lead Bethel scorers with 54 points. Duane Gibson lead in the pass re-ceiving
department with 375 yards for a 53.6-yard average.
Aerialist Bob Larson threw for 432 yards before becoming injured,
and Dave Cox tallied 326 yards in the last four games. Cox also rushed
for another 259 yards and a 7.0 yards-per-carry average.

More than 3000 summer jobs
are now available throughout Eur-ope
for the summer of 1963.
The American Student Informa-tion
service is the only official
authorized organization placing
American college students in sum-mer
jobs in Europe on a large
scale.
It is celebrating its sixth an-niversary
by offering travel
grants and cash scholarships
from $10 to $175 to the first
1000 students applying for sum-mer
jobs in Europe.
Positions available include work
in factories, in resort-hotels, on
farms, on construction, in offices,
in hospitals, in child care and in
camps.
These jobs are located through-out
Europe and wages range from
$175 a month for the highest pay-ing
positions in Germany to only
room and board in Spain. Offered
in conjunction with package ar-rangements,
the cost of the sum-mer
will range from $150 to $799.
Among other things, each ap-plicant
is provided with an al-bum
of language records of the
country in which he will be
working, a student pass allowing
the bearer discounts throughout
Europe, complete health and ac-cidental
insurance coverage and
a choice of tours ranging from
six to 24 days.
Although ASIS offers complete
arrangements with a round-trip
scheduled jet flight, students are
free to make their own travel ar-rangements.
Those interested in the plan may

Benjamin Patterson Browne, president of Northern Baptist Theo-logical
seminary, will discuss "The Renaissance of Christian Poetry"
at a 10 a.m. convocation on Thursday, Nov. 29.
"New Realms the Writer Must Conquer for Christ" will be pre-sented
at the evening convocation at 8. An informal luncheon has also
been planned.
Currently president of the
American Baptist convention,
Dr. Browne has served in num-erous
executive capacities.
Before coming to Northern sem-inary,
he was executive director
of the division of Christian pub-lications
of the board of education
and publications of the American
Baptist convention and editor of
his denomination's education maga-zine,
the Baptist Leader.
Previously he was executive sec-retary
of the Pennsylvania Bap-tist
convention and promotion
director of the Massachusetts Bap-tist
convention.
He has also served as presi-dent
of the Associated Church
Press, a delegate to the White
House Conference on Children
and Youth and chairman of the
Commission on Bible Study for the Baptist World Alliance.
During the last fifteen years, Dr. Browne has founded and directed
a series of Christian writers' conferences, established the National
Christian Writing center at Green Lake, Wis., and initiated the Interna-tional
Christian Writers' seminar with leaders from thirty countries.
In addition to compiling and editing a trilogy of authoritative books
in Christian journalism (Christian Journalism for Today, The Writers'
Conference Comes to You and Techniques of Christian Writing), he has
authored three other books and has lectured in this field at colleges
and universities in various parts of this country.

Convention Offers Time
To Examine Membership
This weekend the student association will welcome dele-gates
to the mid-west regional convention of the American
Association of Evangelical Students, and the campus will be
afforded the opportunity of observing this organization in
operation.
Such action will undoubtedly play an important role in
the senate consideration of continued membership in AAES,
for a greater number of students on campus will be available
to interact on their individual discoveries of what the organi-zation
is, what its purposes are and what it has actually ac-complished.
Founded in 1959, this association has thus far shown con-siderable
inability to create a unified national organization of
evangelical schools which performs any practical function. Al-though
an effort is presently being made to organize a western
region, the current membership of only approximately twenty
schools is located mainly in the East and the mid-west.
In addition, the association has theoretically committed
itself to a neutralistic policy of merely supplying information
rather than encouraging corporate decision. Granted there are
certain areas in which the evangelical voice could not be raised
in unison, but certain elemental issues such as racial equality
or academic freedom demand response from any responsible
Christian student organization.
However, even this concept of the national office as an
information source has never been carried into actuality,
aside from an occasional news letter of doubtful value and
one published bibliography on Communism. And this typifies
the almost complete lack of organization among the member
schools.
AAES has existed long enough so that its shortcomings
cannot be attributed entirely to growing pains, and it is hoped
that this convention can be utilized to stimulate further exami-nation
of the nature, goals and achievements of this group.
The mere existence of an organization of evangelical students
is not sufficient grounds by itself for continued membership
if its program continues to be ineffectual.

The Soviet-Chinese Communist
adventuring in Cuba and India may

India's border difficulties have

Dear Editor:
In regard to Paul Carlson's lat-est
writings on world affairs, and
in particularly Cuba, I wish to
offer a divergent viewpoint.
It appears, from at least two of
his articles, that he assumes every-one
who carries a gun should be
judged equally. I believe this to be
the crux of the difference in opin-ion
on the subject.
Nations, as well as individuals,
carry guns for different reasons.
Both law officials and gangsters
occasionally carry guns. If a
policeman used a gun in defense
of those he is committed to pro-tect,
is it wrong? Of course not.
I'm certain we all agree up to
this point.
We need laws to live by on the
local, state, national and interna-tional
level. If we wink at evil on
any level and let the aggressor
go free, such laxity in law enforce-ment
is both wrong and foolish.
It is wrong because it always leads
to more crime.
I submit to you, that because no
nation, or nations, attempted to
stop Hitler early in his aggressive
career, our world was led to in-calculable
and unecessary misery.
It was morally wrong for the na-tions
not to attempt to stop Hitler
early.
Are not all great wars started
because the aggressor believes
he can get away with something?
We who want a strong military
stand are certainly not looking
for war. We want a strong stand
so there will be no war.
At this point, I realize, there
are even those who argue that
the U.S., in this East-West strug-gle,
is just as much an aggressor
as is Russia. That argument is ob-viously
too ridiculous to answer.
Another mistaken notion occas-ionally
heard is that God is against
using force to punish anybody. Ac-cording
to this erroneous belief,
would we not have to throw out
the doctrine which teaches that
God permits men to suffer in hell
for their sins?

Dear Editor:
In answer to the letter on secu-lar
music on our campus, I would
like to throw out a few thoughts
for just plain "chewing" purposes.
As we already have seen in the
previous article, a liberal arts edu-cation
at Bethel is defined in the
catalog as an attempt "to bring
a student to know himself, to un-derstand
the world and society in
which he lives, to exercise critical
judgment, to be intellectually
alert, to work effectively with
other people."
IT SEEMS to me that in all
areas in our education depart-ment
our teachers are prepared to
do this when they graduate. But
what can a Bethel music education
graduate do with an all-sacred pro-gram
in our secular schools?
Will he reach his students for
Christ, without reaching them
first with himself? Will they see
a difference in secular and sac-red
music? Will even other
Bethel students be open-minded
to choose that which is good and
not good in secular music?
This year it was the feeling of
the homecoming committee that
the Friday evening program should
be simple and light in order for it
to be enjoyable and entertaining
for those who listened and those
who performed.
DO YOU remember the home-coming
music of the past five
years? The music this year was
chosen because:
(1) This year we wanted a en-joyable,
light and happy open-ing
to our homecoming activi-ties.
(2) We did not want an enor-mous
and time-consuming pageant.
(3) The time involved was so
short because of administrative
cancellation of the first idea that
an effective serious program would
have been foolish to attempt.
THE PROGRAM was censored
by faculty and administration; and,
I must add, music faculty.
Why is it as soon as secular
music is mentioned on campus
our Christian ethics narrow? But
we think nothing of our students
reading novels and literature
with much questionable mater-ial;
or studying other religions
and their beliefs; or enjoying a
sacred text put to a secular and
jazz melody.
Here I must say that I heartily
endorse the first two broadening
ideas on campus; but of course do
not endorse jazz gospel music.
AT THIS POINT I will admit
that the view of homecoming be-ing
the wrong time for such a pro-gram
has many good and valid
reasons. But to exclude secular
music from our total education
would be a catastrophe that would
make us even more ineffective wit-nesses
for Christ.
I would be the last to say that
we do not need good discrimina-tion
to plan any type of secular
program on Bethel's campus.
However, I just want to throw
out some ideas for thought and
hope that all activities on campus
will agree with the college catalog
where it says that we must learn
"to understand the world and so-ciety
in which we live, and work
effectively with other people."

Dear Editor:
With respect to your issue of
Nov. 6, two things strike me as
being cause for concern. One of
these was the unfortunate selec-tion
of a distasteful comic strip
which seems out of place in a
Christian campus newspaper.
The other was your reply con-cerning
entertainment on a Chris-tian
campus. My understanding of
liberty in Christ is that our stan-dards
must always take into con-sideration
the conscience of our
brethren lest we offend them by
our actions.
This high ideal does not seem
equal to "tolerance" in the way
in which you have referred to it.
In respect to this type of problem,
I am wondering if you might fur-ther
explain just what an adequate
concept of Bethel is to be?

Dr. Davis would seem to believe
that we should have a loyalty
clause inserted in all our foreign
aid agreements. But this is not
necessarily the proper course.
If independence and economic
welfare are the acknowledged goals
of these countries, they should ob-viously
use the means available to
achieve these goals.
However, their definition of pro-per
aid may not coincide with that
of the United States! It may be
more valuable to encourage them
in cooperating with each other
rather than building a host of Am-erican
"satellites."

More important is the obvious
fact that most nations, acting in-dividually,

As a result, colossal selfishness

Anoka Project
Shows Students
Mental Hospital
by Carrie Helget
American Friends service com-mittee,
a Quaker-sponsored pro-ject,
has set up a series of week-end
projects in which participants
from various colleges in this area
contribute a weekend of service
for the welfare of those in Anoka.
MEETING ON Friday evening,
the group first becomes acquaint-ed.
A talk giving background in-formation
on Anoka is followed
by a tour of the grounds.
Anoka State mental hospital
is organized on the cottage sys-tem,
with each cottage housing
approximately 100 patients,
grouped according to sex and
severity of illness.
Originally, Anoka was "the end-of-
the-line" for those deemed be-yond
help in other institutions for
mental illness. But today it is an
in-patient hospital serving twelve
surrounding counties of Minne-sota.
NEARLY 400 persons are em-ployed
for the care of about one
thousand patients. At first glance
this appears to be an adequate ra-tio,
but this figure of 400 includes
administration and maintenance.
Following breakfast and medi-tations
(Quaker style) on Satur-day
morning, volunteers report
to previously assigned cottages
where they mix with the pat-ients
by visiting, playing check-ers,
or offering to write letters
for those who need help.
Food is provided for a ward
party by AFSC. The group of vol-unteers
selects a cottage and gath-ers
there for several hours Satur-day
afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT, following
swimming and/or recreation, the
volunteers gather to review the
experiences of the day.
Dr. Roy Burt, chaplain since
1950 and the first chaplain to be
appointed by the state, stressed
the value of religion in helping
the patient to use the resources
of his faith while at the hospital
and following dismissal.
Dr. Burt pointed out that there
is no attempt to preach doctrine
or to change the religion of the
patient.
Church services involve the pa-tient
through participation in re-sponsive
readings, while sermons
emphasize hope and opportunity.
The principle benefit from par-ticipation
in such a weekend is
one of attitude, impression and
feeling, for a weekend at Anoka
serves to emphasize the great need
in the area of mental health for
understanding and knowledgeable
Christians.
dence he summons leave little
doubt that the party has serious
problems. He measures the de-cline
by four criteria of strength.
The first is that the party has
been plagued by ideological fac-tions.
Most of the dissension
seems to come from the problem
of how to best gain an influence
in American political and econ-omic
affairs.
Shannon's second indicator of
declining strength is the loss of
party membership which has left
it in shambles. During the peak
year of 1947 the party boasted a
membership of some 83,000. Since
then a variety of problems have
caused the faithful to diminish to
3,000-4,000.
A third crucial weakness, Shan-non
finds, is party finances. It
seems that the sacrificial Commun-ist
of whom we hear seldom exists
except in the minds of some indi-viduals
outside the party. The of-ficial
newspaper at one point had
to cease publication altogether be-cause
the funds were depleted.
Finally, the influence of the
American Communist party on
our society, according to Shan-non,
is immeasurably small.
Communist loses its appeal in
healthy socio-economic communi-ties.
Party insistence that the
American capitalistic system is
doomed to failure has cast sus-picion
chiefly on the Commun-ists
themselves.
For all Americans seeking to
understand American Communism,
David Shannon's book is worth
reading. The major American par-ties
and certainly the congression-al
bodies of our country have made
much of the internal communist
"menace." Whether the danger ac-
Tuesday, November 20, 1962
by Dan Martinez
"A Christian liberal arts college
is a community of scholars com-mitted
to the pursuit of truth,"
believes professor Roy Butler, a
recent addition to the faculty of
Bethel's philosophy department.
"The Christian college and the
Christian scholar, I believe, gener-ally
recognize at least two explicit
goals . . . academic excellence and
total commitment to the will of
God as Lord. And these two are
conceived to be inseparable.
"AS I CONCEIVE academic free-dom,
it is the explicit pursuit of
both of these ideals. The academic
is controlled by the ultimate per-spective
and ultimate perspective
by the academic."
The implication is that in a
Christian liberal arts school the
search for truth and truth itself
are inherently one unity . . . "The
tually exists is a question demand-ing
objectivity.
The reader almost immediately
develops a confidence in both the
importance of the study and the
objectivity of this report. Since
predilection about American Com-munism
is so easily formulated and
so seldom grounded in solid facts,
Shannon's study is refreshing in
its scholarship.
One criticism concerns the
relevance of the report. Some
would contend that all this data
is beside the point of the real
Communist problem, since the
danger resides in the strength
of the underground and subver-sive
activities, not the verifiable
statistics of the official party.
Since few have dealt so directly
with the Communist party in Am-erica
and since the mass of per-tinent
details tends to escape crys-tallization,
The Decline of Ameri-can
Communism is a substantial
contribution to current social
thought.

honest search for truth denies er-ror."
However, the student on a Chris-tian
college campus is challenged
in identifying his academic stud-ies
in non-Christian metaphysical
perspectives with his growing
Christian experience.
PROFESSOR BUTLER suggests
"Academic excellence requires that
the Christian scholar examine each
perspective in terms of its own
presuppositions, its self - consis-tency,
and its adequacy to answer
the basic questions of life.
"And our commitment to Christ
and the esoteric revelation, the
scriptures, in no way denies the
necessity of critical evaluation of
non-Christians. In fact, the Chris-tian's
relation to his world as wit-ness
to the truth of the Gospel re-quires
that he be in the world in-tellectually
on 'all fours,' and that
he be selectively not of it."
Having taught in a secular uni-versity,
Professor Butler is very
aware of the advantages for Chris-tians
of studying in a Christian
college. "The Christian concept of
education, I believe, is grounded
in a thesis that one does not know
a science or an art until one is
aware of the relationship of that
art or science to the meaning of
the universe itself.
"THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPT of
education denies that there could
be art for art's sake or science for
science's sake or even the religious
as dissociated subject matter.
"The raison d'etre of the Chris-tian
college and of the Christian
scholar is a conviction that there
is a Christian perspective which
alone truly expresses the mind of
God and this total personal com-mitment."

Bethel opens its basketball
schedule at home against LaCrosse
college of LaCrosse, Wis., next
Tuesday. The Royals are hoping
to improve last year's 7-13 record.
Co-captains Lee Bajuniemi and
Dave Peterman will lead a small
but fast team into a tough 19-
game schedule. Along with guards
Bajuniemi and Peterman, forwards
Roger Olson and Denny Wahl-strom
and center Phil Bolinder
are returning.
Coach Gerald Healy is expect-ing
help from guard Bill Mc-
Carrell, center Gene Selander
and forward Bruce Erickson
from last year's B team. Mc-
Carrell, former B team floor
leader, is expected to add scor-ing
punch to this year's varsity.
Missing will be last year's lead-ing
scorer and leading rebounder,
Dan Westerlund and John Peter-son,
respectively. Westerlund av-eraged
17.9 points per game, while
Peterson had a 45.2 per cent field
goal average and pulled down 112
rebounds.
Forwards Jerry Moulton, all-region
guard from Howard Lake,
Minn., and Randy Johnson from
Medford, Wis., are two freshmen
Coach Healy plans to use to fill
the gaps.
Other freshmen who will be
working for spots on the varsity
and trying to improve the 5-9

Jim Stanley and Gene Weborg;
center Phil Wicklund; and
guards George Harvey, John Lar-

Football season is over now, but it was not a season which will be
easily forgotten. Of course the outstanding seven and one record itself
contributes a great deal to the impact of the team on Bethel's commun-ity.
Everybody enjoys and remembers a winning ball club. But the win-ning
record is also indicative of a trend Bethel's general athletic pro-gram
is experiencing. This trend is toward quality, showing what Bethel
can do in athletics as well as other areas.
Bethel has always been represented well by its choirs, debate
teams and other competing organizations, and there is no reason
why such quality should not characterize its athletic teams. As
Halleen points out, "If Bethel represents Christ, there must be
quality involved."
And this year's football team has that quality. In Halleen's three
years of coaching football at Bethel, the Royals have had consecutive
season records of 2-6, 4-4 and 7-1. This improved record in itself is
evidence of the fine teams Bethel is producing.
Halleen felt that putting Christ, studies and winning games first
could be some of the reason for the team's success. Or the substance

desire to work hard. The members were willing to make the sacrifices
and put out the extra effort for their team.
Also evidence of a winning team are the statistics for the 1962
season. Compared with previous years they show marked improve-ment
in all departments. This year's 321.8 yards-per-game in total
offense completely overshadows last year's 200.5, and the 183.1-yard
average for this year in total defense, as compared to last year's
238.1, is equally impressive. Leading in tackles this season were
Jerry Kanerva with 39, Vince Bloom with 38, Dave Norman with
25 and Jim Nelson with 24.
Individual statistics for this year are also impressive. Jim Nelson,
who last year ranked 15th in the nation with a 95.5-yard game average,
finished this season with 604 net yards rushing for the six games he
played.
Don Peterson followed with 368 net yards, while averaging 9.0
yards-per-carry! He also contributed 165 yards in pass receiving and
lead Bethel scorers with 54 points. Duane Gibson lead in the pass re-ceiving
department with 375 yards for a 53.6-yard average.
Aerialist Bob Larson threw for 432 yards before becoming injured,
and Dave Cox tallied 326 yards in the last four games. Cox also rushed
for another 259 yards and a 7.0 yards-per-carry average.
